Re: Milk vs. Corn vs. King

Feeding on a once a week schedule is the keeper's schedule not the king's.
A growing king will want to eat 2 to 3 times a week.
An adult king will want to eat every 5 to 10 days depending on the keeper's husbandry techniques/set up.

Oh...and you haven't had enough corns if you haven't been bitten by one.....lol
